Academy Typhoon plus a Hurricane radiator ?

Except it's the initial design for Typhoon - the radiator was in roughly the same position as that on the Hurricane. It had poor handling and was moved to underneath the chin.  And the above is a cut and paste, the original was more streamlined.  Somewhere, I have the LF kit of the original Typhoon.

I did something similar with a Tempest, using a spare P.1027 radiator.

Quote from: Gondor on May 22, 2020, 07:42:25 AMNot seen any pictures with both bombs and rockets, I suppose there was nothing to stop them being loaded out like that if fuel tanks and rockets could be used. I can see one problem though, you would not want to fire your rockets and drop your bombs at the same time so unless the firing circit was selectable  it would be all or nothing.

From what I've read, they were never used together due to different methods of delivery to target. One flight with rockets, another with bombs.

The Wyvoon looks fast!
Maybe a Wypest or Tempern could follow? Or Wury?

The Speed Tempest REALLY looks the business.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
